At some time in your life, you must see the old fortress-city of Karok, far, far to the North, in a land that is now a blasted desert. In that place, the Frost Giants reached their peak, almost becoming a race of benevolent, learned beings, when their greatest spell, cast from an ancient artifact, summoned their end. The gods of fire themselves were pulled from their plane, purging the city clean life in a fit of rage. All that survives in their deepest vaults is their history and their science, inscribed into a neverending wall of ice. It is a place to see.
